Package: taskcoach
Version: 1.4.3-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

on testing if python-gtk2 is installed, taskcoach fails to start, these 
messages are displayed:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: 
g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  from gtk import _gtk

  from gtk import _gtk

and it just hangs.

sudo apt remove python-gtk2 solves the issue, but unfortunately ATM it also 
remove gimp and other stuff.

Good news:
1. there is a matching bug upstream 
https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1593/
2. it has a patch (I have not tested it)
3. python-gtk is supposed to be removed from 
testinghttps://bugs.debian.org/885135
